They reached the milestone early in the second quarter of Sunday’s game with the Colts, when Brandon Graham sacked Andy Dalton on third down:

The sack marked a career high for Graham, his first double-digit total, and also gave the Birds a franchise record 63 sacks on the season as well, surpassing the 62 of the 1989 team that was led by Clyde Simmons' 15 1/2 sacks.

Haason Reddick led the Eagles with 14 sacks coming in, and Javon Hargrave notched his 11th in the first quarter to tie Josh Sweat for second. Now, Graham’s tenth gives that quartet 46 total.

Fletcher Cox, who entered the game with six, is fifth on the team.
